What's this about?

The fastest way for us to help you find the wines you'll love (and avoid the wines you won't ) is for you to spend 30 seconds to tell us about your wine tastes. We use these answers, together with your wine ratings to build a detailed profile of your personal tastes. We match your taste profile to our wines taste profile to find the wines that match. Even if it's a grape you don't know, from a place you don't know, made by a person you have never heard of. For example, if you tell us that you like Rioja, we have an Argentinean Malbec that you will adore. And a Spanish Grenache that will blow your socks off.

Do you like? Rating (rollover the stars to rate)
Big, full bodied red wines? The kind of wine that goes with a rich meaty stew? E.g. Aussie Shiraz.
Elegant restrained reds...e.g. Bordeaux and Burgundy.
Rioja? Warm, oaky mellow wines, great for sharing around a roaring fire?
Soft, fruity, juicy easy drinking reds. e.g. Chilean Merlot, or a Cote du Rhone?

New Zealand Sauvignons and other fruity, refreshingly zingy whites?

Castillo Catadau Gran Reserva 2002

Castillo Catadau Gran Reserva 2002
  • Drink Gran Reserva quality, and 7 years of ageing, for the price of a basic Rioja!
  • Gran Reserva means that the wine is made from the best grapes, aged in oak, aged in bottle and then only released when ready to drink
  • Expect it to be soft and mellow...all the rough stuff has been aged out of the wine years ago

This is a very smooth Gran Reserva. As the first of it's genre that l have tried l didn't really know what to expect. For some reason l had thought it would be a heavy type of wine that sat heavily on the tongue. In truth though it is delightfully light and very very soft and smooth. No unpleasant tastes and a wine l think l could settle down with and consume more than just one bottle. She who must be consulted said it was very nice- so there you have it. Glad l tried it before the chilli con carne though.

Bit bland and acidic and very non descript. Drinkable but not memorable

take a classic temprlnillo and let it mature for 8 years and you get an uncomplicated but very soft and balanced hit of fruit of the strawberry and raspberry type. Very nice and very very drinkable
